Quick and Easy Pot Luck Recipe Ideas?

My SO's family Christmas is Sunday. I already have a lot on my to-do list and don't want to mess with a lot of preparation and heavy cleanup afterwards. Does anybody have any blue ribbon recipe ideas that are simple?

1 tablespoon olive oil
8 ounces sliced mushrooms
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme leaves
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup brandy or cognac ( you can skip)
1/3 cup red wine
1/3 cup chicken broth
Fried Onions, recipe follows ( you can skip)

Cook green beans in boiling salted water until tender, about 3 or 4 minutes. Drain well.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms and cook until browned, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic and thyme. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste. Cook until garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute.

Add brandy or cognac, red wine and chicken broth, bring to a boil. Simmer to blend flavors and reduce sauce, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add green beans to mushroom sauce and toss to coat. Place on a large serving dish, season again with salt and pepper, to taste.
